I just finished Paper Towns today, and I must advise, if you read this book, at least read some of it in a coffee shop on a warm day. That just made it a little better than it already was. Anyway, the book is amazing.
I'm beginning to get confused on John Green's style of writing because so far of his books, I've read TFIOS (who hasn't these days), An Abundance of Katherines and this one, and they are all about ridiculously well-read high-schoolers. Which I really like and kind of aspire to, but it astonishes me that each genius teenager can be so differently quirky and have life stories that are nothing alike at all. He has a knack for writing exceptional teenage love stories, this one included. I love how metaphorical he is.

The story is about a boy named Quentin who is a normal-ish senior in high school who has a weird acquaintance type relationship with a girl named Margo Roth Spiegleman. One night they go on a crazy 11 part adventure and then the next day, she disappears, sending Q on a crazy search to find her and follow clues.ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE ENDING PLEASE READ THIS. I mentally cried a lot during this but I wasn't always sad, you know? It was just beautiful and poetic and so John Green you don't even know.Nerdfighters FTW and DFTBA

>>So I made a new friend during spring break, named Asriel. She has 2 amazing Christian IG accounts ( @all.for.his.glory and @keepingitcoveredandcute) She posts a lot of devotionals along with super cute edits she makes! So I decided to try it out. She also just made a blog that you can check out here. If you don't already know this, I am a Jesus-loving teenager :)

I don't know how many of you will be interested, but I really enjoy this type of stuff.<<

Isaiah 40:31 says "Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary." This a huge encouragement to me as a young Christian. When I read this verse I see people in my life that remind me of this truth. Some of my mentors that I look up to, show me what it is like to have this "new strength". What is it like, you ask? Well when I see someone like that, I see a determination to glorify God. They are just bursting to the top with love. But they don't act like they are perfect either. As a Jesus-lover, you recognize that your own strength isn't sufficient. That's why we rely on Him to take care of us, and He doesn't fail. Which brings me back to the verse. "They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary." When you trust God's perfect power, you will not be tired of glorifying Him. Of course we are humans and we make mistakes. But the Lord is always there for us :) So take this as an encouragement for the week ahead. When you trust in God, you will gain new strength.

//What did you think? Any tips on writing devotionals or creating edits?//

If you don't personally know me, here's a totally not random fact about me. I love the Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling

And it makes me really sad when I see kids that think the series is THE DEVIL and if they read it they WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE STRUCK BY GOD WITH LIGHTENING AND ACNE!

I understand if a parent doesn't think their child is mature enough to read it, but as a Christian who has grown up with these books, I can tell you that they aren't chock-full of black magic. Their spells are Latin, and they don't actually work.

JK Rowling uses themes that strongly resemble the Christian faith, kind of like in Narnia.

I decided to start making outfits again on Polyvore! I mostly post Disney-inspired clothing so if you have suggestions/requests, please comment!
This one was based on the bracelet I found, then the sun, horizon and colors in the picture of Simba. I love the Lion King it's so cute :3
Follow me on Polyvore if you have one, I'm converse-r-cool

Louder then fire crackers next to your earAs bright as a flash of the sunBut you show no fearSit on the porchIt's more comforting outsideSo come on outWear a jacket and bootsLook at the rainRemember when it used to storm like thisThe storms are long goneBut still right hereyou just have to listen to your inner earInside your memories, you'll find these stormsIt comforts me more than anyoneI remember the sight, feel, and soundFor this was what I foundThe sound tells me I am not deafthe light reminds me I am not blindIn the darkness of which I lay behindThe static feel of the lightning is the airRaised hair on my arms, so I knew I was thereThey were louder than fire crackers in my earsThey were as bright as a flash of sunThey comforted me, even when they had just begun

It was disastrous. I don't know if you care at all about this city, but if you do follow local news here, you'd find out very quickly that yesterday the Prez flew in...and stopped up traffic. #thanksobama

So all the streets were backed up. Distress followed. Because around that time, there was a HUGE thunder and lightening storm. It rained a couple inches yesterday, so there were lots of people abandoning their cars and finding shelter somewhere. We got stuck behind a car at an intersection that was wrapped in caution tape and had no driver. THEY ABANDONED THEIR CAR AT THE FRONT OF AN INTERSECTION

Then this morning, when we were out roaming the streets, all that rain had rushed down under overpasses and near the shore of the Ohio River. Lovely, right?

Streets closed for the president, then streets closed because you would drown in your car if you drove through them. 5 feet of water in some places.

To add to that, a huge GE plant caught on fire and it didn't get put out until a few hours ago.

So imagine streets covered in debris from floods, thunder and lightening, pouring rain AND a smoke covered sky!

It was sooo bizarre. At one point, we were stopped by a police officer [oh no, the po-po] and my mom asked him if this was the apocalypse.

Very merrily he replied "Yes, it must be!"

But on the bright side, we went to a cute little doughnut shop called Nord's Bakery and I got a maple one which is my favorite :)

You guys I've gotten very few entries and I need more for the contest! Click here to see the rules
